Ratings and reviews

I never thought that I would ever in my whole life say this, but The movie was like a billion time better. I watched the movie, and I was so excited when I found the book, because I thought it would be even better, I mean, the book is like always better than the movie, that's just a fact of life, but I could not believe this. HONESTLY, I'm glad hollywood messed it up so badly. It's better for everyone. He's something else I never thought I would say, Go watch the movie, leave this book where you found. It's too aweful. This book was to the movie, what the Percy Jackson movies were to the books. Thank you Hollywood for turning a piece of garbage book into an awesome movie. Enjoy this hollywood, Because this is probably the only time I'll ever thank you for ruining a book so badly, but in this case I think it was necessary. If you want books about Vikings, I recomend, Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, by Rick Riordan. Now those books Are total awesomeness.

Love the films & series & shorts and now loving the books also. As of now on 3rd book and grandly enjoying the stories because they different from films !! New stories to enjoy all over anew. People that feel films of books should be word-for-word-the-same are missing out on new adventures and/or stories that can be greatly enjoyed! Stupid limited self-minded little-minded idiots. READ! ENJOY! HAVE FUN! LEARN! PASS ON TO ANOTHER! mic pete Cl;-)~ Ririe, Idaho USA 🇺🇸 (have been reading for 63 years, viewing films for 61years!!)
